Life at BRE
Our structure
We are governed by the BRE Group Board of Directors, made up of experienced senior business leaders, who guide, review and approve BRE Group’s business plans that are developed by the Executive Team.
We are wholly owned by the charity BRE Trust whose governance model is adopted from the Charity Governance Code for larger charities. BRE supports the work of BRE Trust by bringing the benefits of applied research – in the form of digital products, standards, testing and certification, training and qualifications – to key sectors in the built environment. We:
inspire and empower colleagues and our wider community to improve sustainability
provide education and capacity building globally, helping to address skill shortages
collaborate with others on policies and practices that drive sustainability throughout the construction value chain
conduct scientific research on creating sustainable buildings, infrastructure, and communities
support meaningful monitoring and reporting that enables like for like built environment analysis
showcase and reward best practice.
We are forward thinking, diverse and inclusive
We have built a diverse and inclusive work environment, with a proactive health and safety culture.
We have a zero-tolerance approach towards discrimination, bullying and harassment and we are committed to appointing, developing, and rewarding colleagues fairly and objectively.
As a signatory to BITC’s Race at Work Charter, we aim to improve the quality of opportunity for Black, Asian, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse people.
We promote two-way engagement and actively listen to our colleagues’ views through individual and team meetings, surveys, colleague networks, and our ‘Ask the CEO’ channel.
Our colleague networks provide a safe and collaborative space for discussing honest perspectives to help foster understanding and mutual respect for our differences.
We are committed to promoting an open and transparent culture that encourages anyone to speak up if they see or believe misconduct is happening or is likely to occur.
